The Moon Festival at BIS Hanoi was a joyful celebration of Vietnamese culture, filling the campus with colour, music and community spirit. On Friday morning, students and staff came together for a special assembly that brought this beloved tradition to life in a vibrant and meaningful way.

The day began with a charming procession of our youngest learners from F1 to F3. Dressed in beautifully coloured áo dài, they proudly made their way into the auditorium, greeted by warm smiles and applause. Their entrance set the perfect tone for the celebrations ahead.

The assembly then came alive with an exciting line-up of student performances spanning year groups. Audiences were treated to a rich mix of songs, dances and traditional pieces, including Lý Bắc Bộ by Years 4, 5 and 6; Lên thăm chú cuội by Years 4 and 5; Việt Nam trong tôi by Years 4 and 5; Xe đạp by Years 12 and 13; Tay Trái chỉ trăng by Year 10; Tứ phủ by Years 8 and 9; and Múa lụa by Years 8, 11, 12 and 13.

The performances were met with enthusiastic applause, reflecting the pride and effort that students poured into each piece. Beyond the entertainment, the Moon Festival was a meaningful opportunity for students to honour their cultural heritage and share it with the school community.

This annual celebration highlights BIS Hanoi’s commitment to embracing cultural traditions and creating shared experiences that unite students, staff and families.
